[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 212476, member: 1233"] I am glad to hear that you got fresh eyes to evaluate him and found what your instincts tell you is the right name for the problem. having hte right diagnosis will lead to the best ways to help him. I am another like Trinity. I am very sure that if my childhood behavior was assessed for Aspergers or another Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) that I would get the diagnosis. and my adult behaviors might too. I learned to mimic what other kids were doing to "pass" for normal, but mostly I couldn't figure out WHY anyone would WANT to do those things. My oldest, Wiz, is an Aspie. He is in all mainstreamed classes as a 16yo senior in high school! He is taking a vocational program which gives him 1/2 days of training as a machinist this year and next year he will have a fully paid year of training with the program. He plans to work as a machinist to pay his way through college and into the world of acting and drama (behind the scenes stuff). He loves BOTH, and with the interventions we were able to get is HAPPY and PRODUCTIVE and WONDERFUL. (which the old timers here would tell you is NOT the story I was even daring to pray for a few years ago!). We are learning so many new things about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and autism, and the world is opening up to people with these problems more and more every day. Early intervention is TOTALLY the key to later success. Sadly, many people with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or ASDs are overlooked or misdiagnosed for YEARS. It is really not uncommon for a child to get new diagnosis's several times in the process of treatment. But we warrior moms usually know iin our gut if the diagnosis is the right one! [/QUOTE]
